We are a digital marketing agency. We used Kashoo to manage our basic accounting practices. We use to create and send invoices and track income and expenses. Also, manage our clients.
  • Simple accounting tool
  • Tracks expenses/income
  • Send an invoice to clients
  • Record journal entries
  • Could use better onboarding
  • Support could be better
  • UI/UX could be better
Kashoo is well suited for small businesses and freelance businesses. It'll do all the necessary things needed to manage your finances. If you're a bigger company, then this tool might not be the best because it doesn't do everything. Somethings you have to do manual entries. Could use more automation to make things easier.

I use Kashoo exclusively, after having tried more complicated solutions. My favorite feature is the ability to use the app on my phone or iPad when visiting a client, and I need to create or email an invoice on the spot. That way there are no delays or 'forgetting' to enter an invoice or send a statement.
Automating invoices and repeating transactions help me stay focused on what I'm good at -- running my business -- instead of fumbling with bookkeeping.
  • Mobile App.
  • Invoicing.
  • Kashoo works. I've never had an issue.
I hate bookkeeping, but don't have enough volume to farm it out to a professional. That's where Kashoo shines. It's very easy to set up your company and add clients, bills, products, and services. The interface is very intuitive and you don't have to be an accountant to have it up and running.
It's cloud-based, so I never worry about a hard drive failing, losing data, or pulling my hair out if I buy a new computer. If my company expands and I need to share data with financial professionals, there's a provision for adding users to your account.
It's just super-simple to use and works. I've recommended Kashoo to my friends for the past 5 years or so.

  • Repeat transactions -- like Invoicing -- saves me $100 monthly. One click, and the prepopulated invoice is sent via email.
  • Credit Card payment option automatically marks invoices paid. That's another time saver.
Way back when, I used Microsoft Money to manage my business and personal work. They changed things often, bank downloads stopped working, and it really wasn't well suited for business anyway. So when my laptop died, I gave up on it.
Quickbooks was next, but I was overwhelmed by the numerous options and complicated setup for something with features I'd never use. It was also quite expensive. It just didn't work for me.
I found Kashoo online (in a review forum like this) and it had great reviews, so I tried it, loved it, and haven't had to worry about bookkeeping since. It just works and doesn't require a huge learning curve or much of my time. Did I mention that I don't particularly like bookkeeping? ;)
  • Billing / invoicing.
  • Repeating transactions.
  • Nothing. It's super easy.
Yes
I love the mobile app and have used it often while visiting clients. With new clients or prospects, I can set them up on the spot and invoice instantly. With existing clients, sometimes they'll want to look at a statement and all I have to do is pull up Reports and send it via email. That's very handy and makes me look like I know what I'm doing!
Kashoo is by far the most intuitive and easy to use accounting/bookkeeping solution I've tried, and after using it for several years I'm pleased that it delivers a consistent experience. No surprises, it just works. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to attend to bookkeeping, and Kashoo allows me to do just that.

We use it to handle the accounting of a subdivision of the company, an independent legal entity. All the accounting is being done by one person through the browser, from the office, from the home office and from the road through the mobile app Kashoo offers. This is a very convenient feature to be independent geographically and independent of a device / local installation. We completely avoid license key issues we encounter with QuickBooks when working from multiple machines.
  • Mobile app for scanning expenses.
  • Straight to the point actions.
  • Clean user interface (better than the QuickBooks icons!).
  • Importing bank transactions with no upcharge.
  • Receive credit card payments with no credit check.
  • Multi currency on the mobile app.
  • Customization of reports.
Great for a small business. One person can handle the accounting on the side easily without having to hire an accountant for inputting receipts and booking expenses. Kashoo has live support with real people that help with accounting questions. A big plus for small businesses/lay accountants. When you travel you can easily scan the receipts and enter all the information while you are waiting at the airport. All the information will be right there when you resume the PC browser version.

  • Save on QuickBooks License and constant nagging for updates.
  • Quicker entry of expenses.
  • Scanning of receipts on mobile included.
No yearly license fees with Kashoo lifetime plan and it includes a mobile app and mobile integration with the desktop version. I can do everything I need to do in Kashoo so there is no need for bloated old Quickbooks.

[It's a] Complete accounting solution for my small business. Allows me to enter expenses on the go, without taking much time of opening ever slow QuickBooks, etc.

Kashoo allows me to enter invoices, payments, create tax reportings, shows my credit card balance, and more.... everything I need.
  • Great price
  • Great support
  • Real people help with accounting questions - unheard of!
  • Mobile app for scanning receipts and entering expenses at no upcharge - spectacular!
  • Missing Dashboard when you log in
  • I had some multicurrency issues, as this is not supported on the mobile app
  • Is nearly up to par with QuickBooks
  • Much cheaper than QuickBooks
  • Extra services are included
  • Better documentation than QuickBooks
  • The mobile app allows you to work on your books while you wait in the airport or sitting you know where... ;-)

  • Accounting software is a must. Kashoo covers this need and is inexpensive.
  • I can access the accounting from anywhere in the world.
  • I can have an employee work on the accounts anytime without an extra license.
  • Better Price, QuickBooks can get pricey
  • Equivalent Functionality
  • Better documentation (QuickBooks has lots of outdated and confusing documentation online)
  • Fewer error messages are shown, you just do what you need to do without getting bugged by the software
  • No spam, QuickBooks always pushed to update to online service
  • No migration problems. When we changed our other company's hard drives to SSD we had a nightmare of problems with QuickBooks not recognizing the license # and no clear support that would help. Kashoo is all done online, no such problems occur.

I use Kashoo for bookkeeping and invoicing. It is used across the whole organization. I tried a few different bookkeeping software packages. I found Kashoo is simple to work with but has everything I need. It only takes seconds to add an entry or run a report. The mobile app is well done and very helpful. Customer support is amazing!
  • Invoicing - I can create an invoice and email it directly from within Kashoo. When a payment is received, it is simple to enter the transaction and mark it as paid.
  • Projects - I can assign a Project to a transaction. This way I can get a detailed picture of a specific project on which we are working. I can run a P&L report of just that project or the whole company.
  • Reconcile - Reconciling is a snap when you connect the account to the bank online.
  • If you are doing bookkeeping for more than one company, Kashoo has support for that. You can easily switch between companies as needed.
  • If a credit card has multiple cards associated with it, for example, several employees have cards that link to the main account, Kashoo does not have a way to track those cards individually yet still associate it to the main parent account. To be fair, I have not found a bookkeeping software that does this properly.
  • The transaction search is a little funky. Sometimes I have to type in the complete word to find something, otherwise, it won't display the results I expect. I have only had this issue a few times, but it consistently happens for those specific searches.
  • Kashoo does not track inventory.
It is great for a small company or sole proprietorship. It is simple and easy and allows you to do your bookkeeping without taking too much of your time. It would not be ideal for a company that needs to track inventory.

  • Kashoo has allowed me to be on top of my bookkeeping without having to hire a separate bookkeeper.
Kashoo works well and has all the features I need. Wave does not allow for reconciliation and does not do reporting. QuickBooks Online is very expensive and does not have all the features that Kashoo has.
